Wednesday 20 August
7.00 – 8.00pmArtists' Studio

Tom Richards’ performances walk the line between sonic art, sculpture and music. Using a variety of custom-built instruments, his pieces explore percussive patterns and improvised gestural synthesis, referencing aspects of techno and avant-garde composition. Tom will play three sets in the hour; with guest singers Steph Horak and Sam Swift-Glasman.
